Yet again Erewash residents will feel severely let down by the Immigration Minister’s Statement today.
Back in September, he gave me a firm commitment on the floor of the House of Commons that Erewash would be “at the top of the list” when it came to closing these temporary accommodation centres, only for that promise to be broken just over a month later.
This situation cannot be left to continue indefinitely, and whilst I am bitterly disappointed by today’s Statement, I will nevertheless keep on fighting until these centres are permanently closed and returned to their original intended purpose.
